About
This beloved adaptation of the Broadway stage hit stars Audrey Hepburn in the role of Eliza Doolittle, a sassy, working-class London street vendor, and Rex Harrison as the elitist Professor Higgins who attempts to turn Eliza into a sophisticated lady through proper tutoring.
But, when the humble flower girl blossoms into the toast of London society, her teacher may have a lesson or two to learn himself.
Dementia Friendly Films are fun and social events for people living with dementia and their friends, family and carers. My Fair Lady will have a short introduction by Tim Tubbs and sing along with Bill Scott before the screening, a tea and coffee break (refreshments are provided free of charge) and another quick sing before the second part of the film.
